I enjoy my Garmin for health and sports data, but I wouldn’t buy a regular smart watch, I don’t use its notifications or payments (or whatever else ppl use them for).
I’ve used Garmin and Coros watches, also for sports and health data, but now that I do it have it anymore I don’t actually miss it. Turns out I didn’t actually use all that data for anything.
I’m the kind of person who makes spreadsheets about everything, so I have a spreadsheet to see how my running performance changes over time and another one tracking my sleep, stress levels, habits, etc.
Most of this I could see on Garmin’s web UI, but I don’t assume the company will be around forever, so I’d rather save the data for myself. Now I don’t use the data for anything specific, but it’s nice to see it confirm the effect my good/bad habits have on my health 😅 Also it gives an extra motivation to get off my ass.
Or won’t put it behind a paywall (connect+) eventually
This is exactly what I did; I gathered large amounts of data for no actual reason. I also told myself I needed it for motivation because it visualized my effort and progress, but it turns out it actually makes no difference even though I could have sworn it was necessary for me.
